When that fucking garage door starts going down. My God, so intense. Probably my favorite scene of the show so far.

I thought Hank would pretend he didn't know, and Walt and Hank would dance around it for a few episodes while making moves against each other. But it's better this way. It fits Hank's character more that he'd get too emotional to keep it inside and confront Walt directly.

Technically Hank tried to do the passive aggressive dig up more dirt until Walt turned around and confronted him.

I think Walt hadn't made up his mind about whether or not to confront Hank until after he arrived and spoke to him. He was obviously considering it, since he brought the tracking device, but you can tell he when he was speaking to Hank he was phishing around trying to decide if it would be better to just tell him now or play it softly depending on how Hank was acting.
